Pro-blogger wannabes have a reason to celebrate. While there’s been longstanding doubt over the practicality of becoming a professional blogger, news announced last week just may put a kink into the view espoused by critics that site monetization is more hype than a reliable income stream.

No longer will naysayers have much evidence for the argument that the bulk of those attempting to work-at-home via Google Adsense ethos reside in a social-media dream world. Rather, a new form of site monetization has emerged: litigation.

Despite what the RIAA learned, copyright infringement represents a new fork in the road for potential pro-bloggers. Having a popular blog post pirated is something to be encouraged,while niceties will become a thing of the past.

Rather than having an actual audience for your blog, you merely need for someone else you copy your work. From there, a potential goldmine is yours.

Wired tells all.
